Hey Guys Im new to this forum but I have come across it a few different times while researching supplements and steriods .

I have a couple questions though.
First off, Im only 17 so most of you will probably tell me to not even think about steriods at this age but I am trying to do my research and learn as much as I can before the time when I actually do start to cycle something in the future.
I have been lifting since I was 13 but really didn't get into it til I was 15 thats when I started to lift all the time.
Right now Im 5"10 and go between 200-205. Guys in the gym have told me you really shouldn't do anything "hardcore" until you are about 22 Just wondering if this is correct and what your experience is with age and when the earliest is you can start a cycle.
